About Ruth Croft

In 8 years as a professional trail runner, Ruth has become one of the world’s leading trail and ultrarunners, with victories at Western States, Tarawera, Ultra-Trail Cape Town, and the Golden Trail World Series. In 2025, she became the first woman ever to win OCC, CCC, and UTMB — three of the sport’s most iconic races.

Now chasing perpetual summers between NZ and Europe, when Ruth isn’t in her synthetics, she’s studying toward a degree in Naturopathy and Western Herbal Medicine, or out tramping in the back country of NZ.

From growing up in a tiny village on New Zealand’s West Coast of the South Island, Ruth hopes to show young girls – especially those from small rural communities – that where you come from does not define where you can go.
